Woooo survive to play tomorrow.

 

[jman2050]

Should have just struck out.

 

[clav]

Wade Davis. Amazing again.

Cubs can't win without him.

 

[J2 Cool]

CUBS WIN THE WORLD SERIES

 

[RC0101]

Hopefully Roberts decides to put in a competent lineup tomorrow. Should have won that game

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Bah.

It ends tomorrow.

 

[timetokill]

I don't get why Roberts doesn't have the killer instinct

It's like he was okay with losing this game

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lame. Gotta listen to that corny song.

 

[DirtyManos]

That lineup seemed built to lose this game.

Granderson, Utley, and Grandall don't deserve to be anywhere close to starters in the lineup.

 

[bebop242]

Choking progress............25% complete.

 

[Caja 117]

That lineup seemed built to lose this game.

Granderson, Utley, and Grandall don't deserve to be anywhere close to starters in the lineup.

Grandal has done more in this game than Barnes this whole series.

Never mind, didnt saw his first game

 

[sf2fanatic]

Hopefully Roberts decides to put in a competent lineup tomorrow. Should have won that game

Roberts will put game 1 lineup since it's Quintana pitching.


Logan
Charlie
Austin

All come back in the lineup

 

[Dishwalla]

Damn, didn't get the sweep. Ah well, Dodgers gonna end it tomorrow. Go Dodgers go.

 

[layzie1989]

I need to see Roberts be torn apart tomorrow by LA media. If these people give him a fucking pass i'm going to rip my hair out.

 

[Mrbob]

Cubs have now won 5 straight elimination games I think.

Lets make it 3 more this series.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Cubs win for the first time.

 

[J2 Cool]

Can we sit Heyward again? Baez wins the duel Of auto-out, he stays in. Dont see Heyward turning shit around

 

[Caja 117]

I like the Cubs chances, let see if October Kershaw is coming tomorow.

 

[jman2050]

I kinda want to see this happen cause Yankees-Cubs (and Astros-Cubs, to be fair) would be a fun series and because it'd finally add another face to the "Blew a 3-0 lead" crowd.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Good win for the Cubs, but their bullpen is pure ass. They are toast if they're SP can't go like 7.

 

[Caja 117]

It will be incredible given Roberts was part of the first one.

 

[thefro]

I feel a big momentum swing coming in Game 5 (either Kershaw choking or the Cubs lighting up the Dodgers' bullpen) and then the Dodgers feeling big-time pressure in Game 6.

 

[sf2fanatic]

It did game 1. Cubs blew a big opportunity.

 

[Meier]

Doc got a helluva lot wrong this game. Right up until the end.

Quoting myself for relevance:

Dodgers cant let the Cubs take the series back to Dodgers stadium.

 

[Raziel]

Dodgers-Yankees would be a much more fun series. Best hitters, best pitchers (bullpen) by far.

Cubs-Astros would be terrible.

 

[brianjones]

Quoting myself for relevance:

why can’t they exactly?

 

[shwimpy]

I don't get why Roberts doesn't have the killer instinct

It's like he was okay with losing this game

He wanted the the "vets" to have their post-season moment... except it cost us a valuable game. Bottom half of the lineup was complete dogshit.

With Quintana going tomorrow, I doubt Roberts tries anything cute and he'll put out our optimal lineup. Kersh has this.

 

[Caja 117]

why can’t they exactly?

Because not only that will put on presure on Dodgers, but you also have Lester set for game 6, and if Dodgers loose game 6 they are not winning game 7. Knowing how Roberts was on the winning side of the 2004 ALCS he understand better than anyone how momentun can swing to the other side easily.

 

[brianjones]

Because not only that will put on presure on Dodgers, but you also have Lester set for game 6, and if Dodgers loose gane 6 they are not winning game 7.

uh, ok

they already beat lester

 

[Caja 117]

uh, ok

they already beat lester

But they didnt, that was the game that was won with the walk off homer.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Dodgers will still win the world series.
Kershaw going tomorrow so it's a sure win.

 

[Mrbob]

Good win for the Cubs, but their bullpen is pure ass. They are toast if they're SP can't go like 7.

Yeah it's still a long climb for the team. My only hope really is that baseball playoffs can be weird combined with the Cubs seemingly being tough to take out in elimination games.

 

[Fenderputty]

The hot takes because the dodgers didn't sweep have been enjoyable. I like Darvish in a hypothetical game 7.

I hope to use this qoute in a few days.

I, for one, am still hoping for a spectacular Dodgers collapse.

Salt is real in this guy. Too bad his team is always 4th place in the division

 

[Mortemis]

Hey, my team has only made the playoffs once this century and I'm down to see the dodgers collapse.

Nothing against the team, and I'm cheering for them 100% against whoever comes outta the AL but seeing a 3-0 collapse is rare!

 

[Fenderputty]

I hope to use this qoute in a few days.

Hope can be a dangerous thing.

 

[RedAssedApe]

People want the dodgers to be the warriors haha

Gotta be more fun to have a team spend 200 million dollars more than any other team the past five years and have nothing to show for it.

 

[sf2fanatic]

At least we got people willing to spend money to contend. What's your teams excuse?

I hope either the Dodgers or Yanks win it all just for you.

CUBS WIN THE WORLD SERIES

I know I remember

Baseball will never work this way. A team could have a 500 million dollar payroll and they'd still be unlikely to win the world series when the postseason starts

 

[RedAssedApe]

The less we have to hear that go cubs go song the better.

I love LA.

This is dumb, momentum in baseball doesn't really exist and the cubs chances of winning this series are still miniscule. it's just nice not to get swept

 

[RedAssedApe]

?I meant the warriors that were proclaimed one of the greatest teams of all time and choked away a lead in the finals.

 

[17 Seconds]

?I meant the warriors that were proclaimed one of the greatest teams of all time and choked away a lead in the finals.

The Dodgers aren't "one of the greatest teams of all time" though, the chances of that ended in the last couple months of the season. They're just a great team

 

[gamz]

Lets make it 3 more this series.

I think it's 6.

1 Pitt, 3 Cleveland, 1 nats, 1 last night.

Pittsburg was 2 years ago before losing to Mets.
